"Lovely little cottage in picturesque Grassington."
The cottage was well maintained, clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed for our stay.
-
"My wife and i really enjoyed our stay in your lovely cottage ."
It was a great base to explore the surrounding area. We also enjoyed the peace and quiet of the cottage as we have very noisy neighbours where we live . The owners have done a great job on the cottage so take a bow. Only problem we had was the back door lock i think it needs some attention .Hopefully we will return in the future as there is so much to see in this part of Yorkshire . Thank you once again Patrick and Bev Doyle

"A very cosy cottage decorated to high standards, very well equipped and spotlessly clean."
Located just off the main street in the beautiful Dales village of Grassington, it is an ideal place for exploring wonderful Wharfedale and beyond. Plenty of walks directly from the door as well as local pubs, cafes and shops. The welcome bottle of wine, chocolates, milk and biscuits were a lovely touch too. There is a small parking space for one car outside the back door, but there are some free spaces in the village, a small carpark a little way up the hill and the National Park carpark is another option if friends are meeting up with you. We would highly recommend Manna Cottage for a Yorkshire Dales holiday base.

"Very comfortable and I loved it ."
Parking was not easy because of scaffolding on property opposite but was possible with care . I shall look forward to booking again sometime .

"The cottage was well equipped with everything you could need, it was all of a high quality too."
The only down side for us was the firmness of the double mattress,which was like lying on a board, however we appreciate not everyone likes a softer matrass, this did impact our stay, as after a walking day we didn't get a good sleep. The situation of the cottage was perfect and Grassinton and surrounding areas are beautiful. Everyone was so friendly. We ate mainly in the Forresters Arms which appears shabby but the food was beautifully, plentiful, freshly made and reasonably priced. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. Apart from the bed a very nice stay.

"Manna Cottage is the perfect base for anybody wanting to explore the beautiful Yorkshire Dales."
The cottage is compact but has everything you need and is situated very near to the centre of this lovely village.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. I hope that you thoroughly enjoyed your return to The Dales and found it unchanged. Property Owner

"As for a couple it was perfect."
A bonus, parking at the rear of the property was under a street lamp.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. I am pleased that you were able to park down our street and that you had a good holiday despite the poor weather. Property Owner

"It was a lovely cosy cottage even in the damp weather - central to the village and its own parking space which was a bonus."
The cottage was brilliantly equipped with everything that you would need - in the little things like tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate (which was lovely) - loved the little touches like a packet of chocolates and a pint of milk left for us. It was our first short break in a long time because of illness and it lived up to every expectation. Thank you for this.
Thank you for your lovely comments. Shame the weather was rubbish. Hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

"Manna Cottage is an ideal holiday home for a couple like us who enjoy walking and eating."
It's very comfortable and well equipped - especially for cooking. Comfortable king size bed with good mattress, and big fluffy towels. Lovely location for walking from the door and for the town. And a good bus service to Skipton and dales. It was our second time in this cottage. And the owner is helpful and friendly.
Thank you for your kind comments. So pleased that you enjoyed your holiday in The Dales. Hope to see you again soon Property Owner

"Lovely clean, warm, cozy, homely cottage, with comfy bed, parking space & helpful owner."
Great walks, cafes and pubs on the doorstep. Will definitely return to this cottage.
Thank you for your kind comments. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday despite the water problems. Look forward to seeing you in the future Property Owner

"Manna cottage is a gem in the heart of Grassington beautifully presented and configured and equiped for a small cottage."
It has the advantage of parking right outside which is ideal as there isn't much parking space in Grassington itself
Thank you for your lovely comments. I hope that you had a wonderful time in the Dales. And the weather was kind to you! Property Owner

"Manna cottage is a lovely cottage ."
However the locks on the back door and the out house are difficult to undo . Maybe people should be made aware of the town hall clock striking every hour especially through the night. The bed was hard and not very comfy to sleep on . It is in a good position in the village. A little more comfort would have been nice.
I am sorry that your stay at Manna Cottage was not perfect. Unfortunately the wet weather has swollen the doors thus the locks are a bit stiff but this has been looked at by a joiner. The locals never notice the clock striking the hour but will ensure that a note is put in the visitor information book. The bed - this is a matter of personal preference. Property Owner

"The kitchen was rather compacted, only about 10 inches of work surface."
Living room, bedroom and bathroom were a good size. Shower was good. The garden belongs to the next door house, so can't be used. It was bit uncomfortable to have people walking by in the garden. The picture on Sykes is the front of the house from the garden not the entrance you use. Parking was a bit difficult. There is no allocated space.
Sorry that your stay at Manna Cottage was good as you had hoped. I did explain to you when you rang, regarding the parking, there is an allocated parking space directly outside the cottage. We are very lucky to have this space as all the other cottages down the street have to park in the public car parks. Property Owner

"A lovely little cottage in the heart of things in Grassington."
Very well equipped and very clean. The key for the little outhouse was very temperamental but we managed to open it twice to put out the recycling. We have had a great week and just wished we could have stayed longer. Hopefully we will be returning.
-
"We had a wonderful week in Manna Cottage."
The charming property is right in the centre of Grassington and is very cosy. The facilities provided are excellent and we really can find no fault in the cottage or the location.
Thank you very much for your review. I am pleased that you enjoyed your week in the Yorkshire Dales Property Owner
-
"Delightful cottage in an excellent position."
Quieter than the address suggests. We had great week.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. So pleased you had a good holiday. Look forward to seeing again Property Owner
-
"Peaceful, spacious cottage with beautiful garden."
Very well situated for nearby shops and walks from the cottage without using the car.
-
"Great cottage,well equipped."
Not the most comfortable settee but OK. Couldn’t turn the key to the outhouse so couldn’t use the recycling bins. Apart from that, I would highly recommend this cottage. Also,perfectly positioned in a beautiful village and stunning countryside.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. Sorry that you couldn’t open the outhouse door there is a knack to it! Pleased you enjoyed your holiday Property Owner

"Ideally located in the village Very clean and cosy."
Parking extra bonus

"We have just enjoyed another lovely stay at Manna Cottage (our 3rd visit) it is a very cosy and spotlessly clean place."
-

We had a lovely stay at manna cottage spotless clean and well equipped only thing is position of Tv hard to view if two people sat on sofa and could do with a bigger screen but all in all very pleasant
-

I would definitely stay there again.

"We stayed at Manna cottage in Grassington for one of the Christmas market weekends."
It was obvious from the moment we opened the front door that it was very homely, we ate out every night but the kitchen was well equipped to cook a meal for two. The host was very helpfully with answering any questions we had prior to our stay. We had a lovely weekend and will defiantly be going back.
-
"Excellent cottage ideally situated in Grassington close to all you need for a holiday"
-
"Location is brilliant with easy access to town and walks."
We expected a bit of noise at night but it was so peaceful, just the sound of the town hall clock chimes. The cottage is perfect for two with adequate facilities. I personally found the bed too hard and therefore uncomfortable, my husband had no problem sleeping! The bed linen and towels were all of very good quality. We love Grassington with the offer of wonderful walks from the doorstep, combined with very good eateries, we shall definitely return.

"I enjoyed my stay but with roadworks which was no one's fault I had trouble finding parking."
Also I have stayed at cottages before and never had to strip the bed before I left.otherwise there was everything in the cottage I needed and Grassington was very enjoyable.
-
"This is our second visit to Manna Cottage it is a lovely cosy place with everything done to a high standard."
-
"Very well equipped and clean cottage, in a fabulous location."
We followed the instructions regarding rubbish, but it was apparent the bin hadn't been emptied for some time as it was absolutely full. Otherwise perfect. Shame nowhere to sit outside as we had stunning weather, but we managed very well. Thank you for letting us share your home.
-
"Great cottage for a couple."
Well equipped and in a good location. Only negative was builder’s vans blocking the gunnel and parking space on our first day. After speaking to them they kept it clear for the rest of stay.
-
"Manna Cottage was the perfect place for our say in Grassington, the cosy cottage was immaculate with beautiful furnishings and within walking distance of places to eat out in an evening."
We will certainly be booking it again.
-
"Lovely clean and comfortable cottage just a step from the pretty village centre with its cafes and pubs."
Perfect.
-
"The picture of the cottage was confusing as it showed the front while main access was via the back door as the front garden did not belong to the property."
This meant instructions were to first cottage on the left down the path way/road whereas the picture indicated the property was on the right. It didn't cause a problem finding the cottage but was confusing when viewing online.
-
"We loved our stay at Manna cottage, the location was perfect in a quite cobbled side road and less than 100 yards to nearest pub."
We were surprised at how clean the cottage was and we were not expecting a modern shower A perfect place to stay and much better than a hotel room.
-
"Perfect holiday cottage, very high standard throughout."
Very good location and a private parking space.
-
"Clean and cosy cottage."
Spacious lounge with efficient gas fire for chilly evenings (had to get on hands and knees for controls). The bedroom was also spacious with good quality beddng on comfy king size bed. Shower was good, always plenty of hot water, fluffy towels. The kitchen was very small (half width counter), but we did manage, it had all necessary appliances - microwave, fridge, washer/dryer (outside) and plenty of crockery/cutlery. Parking immediately outside the door was convenient, we only used the car one rainy day to visit Skipton. We loved walking from the door. The owners obviously look after this property very well. We hope to return.
-
"Manna Cottage was an ideal place to stay when visiting Grassington and the Yorkshire Dale's."
It was extremely clean and well maintained. All furnishings were of a high standard. We would definitely use it again and recommend it to others.
-
"This is a gem of a cottage - excellent location, very clean and comfortable, well equipped."
So good to find somewhere which has all you need to cook with and plenty of cutlery and crockery. Good bed and shower. Wifi worked well. Warm and cosy but with plenty of a space. Owner helpfully made contact beforehand. From the visitors book we can see people have come back many times and we can see why. We hope to return.
-
"We enjoyed the location and the freedom of self catering."
The cottage was excellent and was fully equipped, it was exceptionally clean and contained everything necessary for home from home and for the perfect holiday. I would certainly stay at this property again and would book through Sykes for a similar break in the future.
-
"Brilliant cottage and would go there again, good location and so clean and smart."
Great place to relax
-
"A lovely relaxing holiday in the centre of Grassington, we can thoroughly ..."
A lovely relaxing holiday in the centre of Grassington, we can thoroughly recommend Manna Cottage to anyone wanting to stay in this part of the Yorkshire Dales
-
"Lovely warm cottage perfect"
-
"This is a cracking little cottage right in the heart of the village, what you get is a typical miners cottage converted for modern living."
Spacious and comfortable for two people and ideal for a holiday to explore the yorkshire dales and with parking as a bonus.The only negative is the difficulty sometimes in lighting the fire which takes a bit of effort to get the pilot light lit but with perseverance it's not much of an issue.
-
"Had a lovely holiday in Grassington, the cottage was superb, very central, private parking and lovely comfy bed."
Frequented the Forresters Arms, very friendly staff, good food and only a few yards from the cottage. Will be back.
-
"Nice small cottage, well positioned in the middle of the village."
There are some negative points. The kitchen is tiny with limited work space, the settee in the living room is small and very soft you can't sit on it for long, there are alternative chairs provided. There isn't any outside space. This is clear in the description but what isn't clear is the garden in front of the cottage belongs to the next door neighbour, who hangs her washing over the railings in front of the living room window. There is parking for one car but access is tight and you have to reverse out on to the road, this can prove tricky with on coming cars and pedestrians, there is alternative parking in the village. This cottage is a good base for exploring the Dales both by car and on foot.
-
"Lovely cottage, clean comfortable and cosy."
Exceedingly nice soft furnishings. Nice complimentary tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits very welcome after a long drive. Walks around the Dales just on the doorstep. Grassington has got lots of character and friendly people.

The property
A delightful stone-built terraced cottage in the heart of Grassington, one of the most popular villages in the Yorkshire Dales.
An 18th century former lead miner's cottage, it provides an ideal base for a small family or couple wishing to get away from it all and enjoy a wonderful break in this ever-popular area.
In a quiet corner of the village yet only a stones throw from the vibrant centre of the village, the cottage is packed with character and charm; guests will be delighted by a warm and cosy sitting room with a gas-fired stove set in a beautiful stone surround, as well as a lovely window seat, exposed stone walls and original ceiling beams; an ideal room in which to relax and unwind.
The small kitchen adjoins the sitting room and leads out to a quiet lane.
Upstairs, the charming king-size double bedroom boasts pretty views over the adjoining gardens and across the village.
There's also a separate shower room available.
This cosy and romantic cottage is just a one minute walk from the famous village centre, with its old curiosity shops, excellent local pubs, good eating establishments and, of course, the old cobbled square where the annual Dickensian weekends are a real show-stopper.
Add to this the annual Grassington Festival and the close proximity of many of the Dales' famous tourist locations and you've a holiday cottage not to be missed.
A cottage and village full of character and charm, certainly a great combination and one not to be missed!
About the location
GRASSINGTON
Skipton 9 miles; Ilkley 12 miles.
Grassington is one of the most charming villages in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Traditional stone cottages and shops are clustered around the cobbled market place, offering exceptional shopping facilities for a village of this size, with a monthly farmer’s market offering a mouthwatering range of organic and homemade local produce. Situated on the River Wharfe, with the extensive Grass Woods to the north of the village, this is a superb walking area. Down dale is Bolton Abbey with the Abbey ruins, the Priory and the famous “Strid Walk”. A little further is the elegant town of Ilkley, overlooked by the famous Ilkley Moor. Up dale are Kettlewell and Buckden boasting spectacularly beautiful limestone scenery. With many other beauty spots scattered throughout Wharfedale, Grassington provides a great base for exploring the local area and all that the Dales have to offer, with Brontë Country and York also being within easy motoring distance.
